Bhagavad Gita 17.27

Yoga through Discerning the Three Divisions of Faith

यज्ञे तपसि दाने च स्थितिः सदिति चोच्यते। कर्म चैव तदर्थीयं सदित्येवाभिधीयते

yajñe tapasi dāne cha sthitiḥ sad iti chochyate karma chaiva tad-arthīyaṁ sad ity evābhidhīyate

Steadfastness in sacrifice, austerity, and gift is also called 'Sat', and action in connection with these, or for the sake of the Supreme, is also called 'Sat'.

यज्ञ, तप और दानरूप क्रियामें जो स्थिति (निष्ठा) है, वह भी 'सत्' -- ऐसे कही जाती है और उस परमात्माके निमित्त किया जानेवाला कर्म भी 'सत्' -- ऐसा ही कहा जाता है।
